This is how you get more Trump – Democrats’ Obstructionism Is Unprecedented | Power Line. We’re talking about refusing to confirm President Trump’s appointments.

When the Democrats say, ‘He’s not my president,’ they aren’t kidding. Most Democrats still refuse to accept the result of the 2016 election, and their party consistently refuses to extend to President Trump the routine cooperation that makes our democracy function. The most blatant example of this is the Democratic minority in the Senate. The Democrats under Chuck Schumer have abused longstanding Senate rules and courtesies in a way that we have never seen before.

Once background checks and interviews have been one, the vote on the nominee moves to the Senate.

Traditionally, the Senate routinely confirms the administration’s nominees once out of committee. It is there to respect the will of the American people and the election for an administration to fill out its roles under a new President. Instead, what Senator Schumer has done is to require cloture votes to essentially slow down the process and to obstruct.

The clotures vote effectively is a filibuster and inserts a 30 hour delay in the confirmation process. So compare what the Senate is doing to the Trump administration vs. the list 4 administrations…

Senator Schumer is essentially weaponizing a Senate procedure and demanding cloture votes on our nominees that he even eventually supports. Eleven of the President’s nominees have been approved without a single dissenting vote, yet still forced to go through a 30-hours of debate to essentially slow down the Senate calendar simply for the purpose of obstruction. Even Senate Democrats have begun to call this out and to say it is getting to the point of ridiculous.

Specifically…

In the first entire term of the George H.W. Bush administration, his entire four years, he faced one cloture vote. In the entire four years of the Clinton administration, he faces 10 cloture votes. Under the George W. Bush administration, the entire first term, he faced four cloture votes. Barack Obama faced 17 in his first entire four years. We have faced 79 in our first 14 months. That adds up to 32 combined in the entire first four years of those administrations, relative to 79 in our first less than a year and a half.

There will be a price to pay for these maneuvers. This is how you get more Trump.

No one ever said draining the swamp would be easy. Democrats in contested races are going to have to run against both Pelosi and Schumer.
